The Price of Good Government IT took courage real courage, to come out against that pro- posed $7,000,000 bond issue for the Pacific Highway, as Governor Martin did. It took the sort of moral courage that is so acutely needed in public life today, and so rarely found. Governor Martin admits the rebuilding of the Pacific High way from Grants Pass to Roscburg is needed he would like to sec it done, but he opposes adding $7,000,000 to the '.present bonded debt, in order to do it. . The governor continues: t If w are ever to put rout building .ruj maintenance on a buslne&s basis e must adopt and stay with a policy of con fining expenditures to actual revenues and eliminate heavy Interest charges. . Even now our Interest bill on state highway bonds is annually more than 00 percent of the amount of principal requirements. ; Quite true. The only way to lower the state debt is to refuse further to increase it. The only way to reduce expenditures is to stop making them. "TITER men in public life give ready lip service to economy and retrenchment during a campaign. They talk for it, about it, and what they will do concerning it. But once in office when a well organized minority steps up to ask this financial favor or that, how many of them, follow up their words with deeds? Not one in a carload. And whyT Because they are afraid of losing ft few votes. That's all. During a campnign they can dish it out in great style, but once in office, like 9fl of all the other office holders they can't TAKE it. At the first demand they fall over themselves liko a lot of tenpins, "You want $7,000,000 for ft new highway, you want $2,000,000,000 for ft cash bonus, you want this, that or the other thing, of course you can count on me to help worthy projects all of them good day, don't mention it, hope to see you at the next election, and thank you for calling." Why not.? If a man wishes to stay in public life, hfjw can he afford to incur the displeasure of those whose votes fire need ed to keep him there. And in the bright lexicon of the average office holder, every vote in sight is needed. . TJUT not so with Governor Martin. We happen to know this needed realignment of the Pacific Highway and the section of Southern Oregon involved, has no better friend than the governor of this state, but be doesn't run the affairs of this state on FRIENDSHIP. Hedoesn't run them on political expedi ency or political ndvantngc to himself. He runs them SOLELY on what he believes to be the best interests of the entire state, and all the people in it, and no matter what the pressure may be to persuade hhn to do otherwise, he is going to hew to that line letting the chips fall where they may just as long as he hold? office. ' ..... IT is too early to say what the reaction of the people of South X ern Oregon will be to this refusal of the governor to endorse this $7,000,000 project. Hut we know what it SHOULD he. It should be an admission that the governor is BIGHT, that much as this improvement is needed, to secure it by in creasing the bonded debt at the present time, would, from the standpoint of the stnto wcl'nre, be unwise and undesirably and if the project is carried out, it should be carried out in some other way. For unless this is tjie read inn, unless there is a disposition on tho part of the pcoplo in this section and every other sec tion in the state to subordinate what may he to their'selfish advantage, to what good judgment and sound policy dictate is for the best interests of the state as a whole, then the old vicious circle is created and the good government we all want, can never be attained. For putting good men, courageous men, men of the highest, most loyal spirit of disinterested public service in office. men with the courage to say "no" when "no" is demanded, will do us no good, unless when such action is taken, the people as a whole support them. We can't have good government merely by asking for good government. We can only have good government, when we the people, are willing to pay the price for it. And that price involves, not only loyalty to such a govern ment, hut willingness to at any given time, make certain sacri fices for it. VITE want economy, efficiency and devotion to the public 7 welfare in high office, but if we punish that sort of gov ernment whenever it happens to thwart some selfish advantage we or some other section of the state may desire, then we render the establishment of such a government, absolutely impossible. If we as a people demand good government, and then as individuals in this self interested minority or that, demand what good government can't allow and if it isn't allowed, proceed to enforce political reprisals against the authorities refusing it then had government, the confusion and chaos it involves can be tho only result. X other words we get just the sort of government we deserve. no better and no worse. The first obligation is to elect good men to office, but the second obligation is equally important, to support them when they get there; even when such support may involve giving up sonic things we would like to have, but which if allowed would he contrary to the best interests of tho state as a u hole.

Whet Ire r preponderance of acid ash foods In the diet Is In Itself a factor of ill health Is still debatable. As we learn more about the distribution of vitamins and the body's requirements for vlatmlns and the manifestations of moderate vlumln deficiencies, It seems more reasonable to explain dis turbances ' which some ascribe to "acidosis" as really due to insuffi cient alkalinity. Various investigators estimate the potential acidity or alkalinity of fods as follows: Arid Lean meat, eggs, oysters, oatmeal, rice, fish, white bread, entire wheat, corn bread, crackers, peanuts.

In general, all fruits except prunes, plums and cranberries; all vegetables, all nuts, and milk and milk products tend to make blood and tissues alka line. (Prunes, plums and cranberries contain substances which may In crease aridity In the urine). Apples, bananas, dried beans, musk melon aud potatoes have been found particularly valuable in reducing acidity of the mine.

(F. O. C.) f Answer. Cataract is not a film or skin upon the surface, but a cloud ing of the crystalline lens within the eyeball. Although animals develop cataract If their food contain Insuf ficient vitamin G. It is not possible to cure the cataract by restoring the vitamin to the feed. There Lb no known cure or effective remedy for cataract except operation removal of the opaque lens, and use of suitable lenses In spectacles to give the pa tient comfortable vision. Saccharin Please let me know what saccharin Is, and whether It is harmful to the human body. J. A. J.) Ans. Saccharin, known in the Pharmacopoeia as Olusldum and chemically as benzo-zulphlnldum. Is one of the numerous coalter deriva tives. It is 400 times as sweet as sugar. Up to five grains a day may be used as a substitute for sugar. In sweetening coffee, etc., with perfect safety. From one-eighth to one-half grain Is used to sweeten a cup of coffee. A teaspoonful or lump of sugar yields as many calories as a quarter of a glass of milk. Saccharin has no nutritive value. Canker Sores I suffer a great deal from mouth sores, or cankers. Some one advises ine to use a mixture of camphor gum with sulphuric acid. (A. R.) Ans. Better not trifle with vitriol. Dally touching of each sore with half glycerin and half tincture of lodln smart like anythlrfg for a moment, but seems to give relief and quick healing. (Copyright, 1936, John P. Dille Co.) Ed.

Some of the swiftest banter I ever heard was Clarke's. Many gags attributed to his intimate, Wilson Mlzner, were bit. Macdonald lacked the trigger touch in talk but could write the most amusing letters one could possibly receive. I never met a gloomy song writer. They are usually bubbly with a conviction the tune they are com posing Is a smash. Aud Walter Pater once wrote: "To live on the edge of high hope in only imagined expec tancy is about as near heaven as we get in this consciousness." For a time, too, I did a bit of gong ctapplng for a music publishing house and spent an hour or so a day lu the try-out rooms of those made over brownstoues.-Perhaps two dozen pianos wouM be thumping away in the stall-like spaces, a Jangle that would drive most folks mad. Harry Von Ttlzer had just been eclipsed by Irving Berlin as king of the popular song, and lovcable Charles K. Harris was still venerated for giving the na tion his "After the Ball." The ong pluggers. too, were a rare study In high pressure enthusiasm and adept in exploiting the newest slang of the day. Just as everybody some day tries to write a novel, so is the writing of a song inevitable. My effort tried to halo the Ohio river with the same sentimentality that Paul Dresser achieved with the banks of the Wa bash. And Just about then "The Beautiful Ohio" waltz came out and made a sucker out of me again. My disrespectful tnxi driver, passing an extravagant waist-deep set -of whiskers on East 59th street, revealed his mid-west origin. With a thumb Jerk toward the foliage, he turned, and observed "The makings are there, buddy, for a swell meadow lark pie."

But Just as long as thinking gives to so-called intelligent men and wo men a headache. Just so long will the world's trouble makers find In such people, the gullible dupes and easy tools, of their game of war, and so long will they all grovel In economic Insecurity.
